I'm fascinated with color theory, design, minimalism and grid systems. As a teen I became interested in computers and found web design to be a natural extension of my interests in both. I have been using Photoshop since version 5.5 and am primarily self-taught in almost everything from software to programming. I have worked on a wide variety of projects, from large to small, for clients that run the gamut from independent to Fortune 500.
I am always open to learning new techniques and technologies and strive to keep up with the latest best practices.
